...Broadway HAIR. While fresher than the rest of the season's stale musicals, this tribal-rock extravaganza seems a decidedly dated and slightly square rendition of hippiedom. Loosely directed by Tom O'Horgan, the show appears to be dedicated to the propositions that noise equals singing, energy equals style, and bad taste equals invention...
...Foreign Relations, the Pentagon last week righted the record. Witchcraft, it contended, is part of modern warfare: the $522.50 study analyzed the key role of Congolese sorcerers in the 1964 Simba uprising, when U.S. aircraft dropped Belgian paratroopers to rescue foreign hostages in Stanleyville. Dawa (magic) concocted by tribal witch doctors induced Simba warriors to believe that enemy bullets turned to water; their morale crumpled after Mama Onema, a crotchety hag with one pendulous breast, threatened to turn her fetishes against the rebels...
...Fulbright was taking potshots at the Pentagon's $660 million military-science research program, the $80 billion defense budget was getting a discouraging reception from tribal magicians elsewhere in the Senate, notably Majority Leader Mike Mansfield.

As the troops seized the airport and moved into parts of the city, great, 1,000-ft. pillars of black smoke angled into the sky from pipelines and oil and gas wells set ablaze by the retreating Ibos. At week's end, Biafran soldiers were still holding out in some sections of Port Harcourt, and the prospect was for long-drawn-out fighting. But the superior federal firepower seemed certain to prevail eventually, and then Port Harcourt...
Tricked out in gaudy tribal trappings, Black Power Warrior Stokely Carmichael, 26, and Click-Singer Miriam Makeba, 36, celebrated their recent marriage at a reception held in Mount Vernon, N.Y., by Akili Danieli, Tanzanian Ambassador to the U.N. Married secretly about a month ago in Washington, D.C., the couple canceled their plans for a mammoth reception because of Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination. Now the newlyweds have little time for honeymooning. Miriam went to South America for a monthlong concert tour; Stokely holed up in Washington and let the world know that Black Power machinations and marriage were...
